“I didn’t recognise it was a world record because my score was lower than my average this year. I’m happy to have another record – this is the third,” said Chaewon. “On the other hand, I’m under pressure. I have to do the same as the qualification round [in the rest of the event].”

Choi seeded top in the compound men’s event with 709, two up on Korean teammate Hong Sung Ho.

“I set the Chinese Taipei record in March with 703 so it’s only a few more points than that,” she said.

“The improvement has come from working hard and smart this last few weeks with the team, and our team coach found a new arrow combination that’s working well, as well as working on my mental game and planning with our coach and team.”
